Months and months and months ago we asked you to send in fan signs we would use to create a giant collage for the Doctor Who Tumblr office. We unexpectedly received over 3500 images, so we decided that instead of creating a collage we’d make a neat image mosaic of the TARDIS!

You can download the full version of the image here (Right click > Save As to choose where you’d like to save it to, FYI it’s a 20MB file) and zoom in to see if you can find your contribution.

Thanks to everyone for participating, look at the cool thing you’ve made! 

UPDATE: Due to a programming error the mosaic was previously missing a lot of submissions, and many of the ones included were repeated a number of times. We’ve updated the file to include the correct number and apologize for this mistake. Enjoy!

eeeeeeeeee!! they made it!! and I’m in it!! (well not me, but the thing I made)

(Hint: two over and two down from the bottom of the door. Look for the pumpkin dressed as Eleven.)

The Oldest Known Map: The Map of Nippur

This ancient clay tablet dates to the 14th-13th century BC. It shows a map of the countryside around the Mesopotamian city of Nippur, located in the middle of the southern Mesopotamia floodplain, near the modern city of Diwaniyah, Iraq. The inscription on the tablet is in cuneiform.

The University of Pennsylvania was excavating in Nippur from 1889 until 1900 and during that time they discovered thousands of clay tablets. This map may have been discovered at that time, but its importance was not recognized until quite some time later.

Looking in the mirror from 898,410,414 miles away…

NASA has just released a raw edition of Friday’s photo of Earth and the moon, as seen from the Cassini spacecraft currently orbiting Saturn.

From out there, we look like stars. 

Just a tip, NASA: We’re gonna have to give it a better name than “N00213959.jpg”. Maybe “Pale Blue Sparkle”?

(hi-res at NASA website, a more processed version is sure to come… stay tuned)
